Original artwork description:

The final larger version in oil on canvas of this series, begun in 2017 and finished in 2019. I wanted to celebrate the joys of wild swimming in the sea. Here a figure undresses before running into the sea. The landscape and space in which the figures exist is inspired by a naturist beach in Cornwall. The sea, sky and sand paired back into a banded composition, textured and simply rendered. The figure is flattened, and is integrated into the composition of the landscape, recalling the feeling of experiencing this beautiful place.
